I'm looking for 4 MAC (or any brand!) e/s to dupe the LE Guerlain Fleur de Feu quad. Any ideas? Maybe someone who has this could tell me what MAC textures + colors are closest? I thought the top right color could be close to Sunday Best, top left maybe Silver Ring? (but of course I don't know...

Please help me on my quest - I'm ISO a pressed e/s exactly this shade of purple (the darker shade on her eyes) (pssst: if MAC doesn't make one like this or you think the texture's better, other brands welcome!) clickable: Maybe Satellite Dreams or Purple Haze? Or are these totally off...

I'd love to make a holder out of empty MAC l/s boxes as Leppy suggested, but I have maybe 2 of them, so that option's out. Currently I'm keeping my l/s in empty quadratic cotton swab boxes, with rubber bands spanned across (3 on each side = 4x4 rows = 16 compartments), it's just a quick fix and...

Hi Not sure if this is the right place, but since I'm not specifically asking for pics but an answer if/how they're different would be fine too, I thought I'd put it here: I have Rimmel Entice l/s (d/c afaik?) and am lemming Sweet & Single badly, but in pics I have seen it does seem very...

Hello This is my little collection - since I'm a student and MAC is much more expensive here in Austria, I can't afford as much for retail, but I constantly try to make it grow by sales at eBay and Specktra. Since I’m often looking through this board-section for comparing colors, I hope...

Hello My latest craving is THE perfect light champagne colored e/s, which one is the best MAC makes? My first guess would have been maybe Retrospeck?, but I don't want glitter for daytime, so no lustre or velvet please. I have Twillery, and it's the right kind of shade, but a bit too dark for...

How similar are these two (read: can I stop hunting for Body Suit and buy a brand new Aloof lipstick instead?)? Or is one of them even very similar to a permanent color? TIA!

Hi Usually I'm a chapstick-only-person, but lately I'm longing for a lipstick that evens out my lipcolor, and tones my fairly full, medium pigmented lips just a bit down so the eyes stand out more, but without making me look dead. I'm very pale (Mac's Studio Fix NC15 is too dark) and...

My eyes are small and one lid is much more hooded than the other. Now when I use e/s, I put bright/light shimmery colors on the lid, medium matte colors in the crease and as lower liner and go dark only in the outer v (just outmost crease and lower liner). The normal eye looks fine with this...

...Gold Dusk and Spring up? I'm particularly interested in the differences, if there are any? TIA!

Hi fellow Austrian Specktrettes Since 2 and a half hours separate me from the Vienna counters, could someone please tell me what the current collection there is (I'm guessing they don't have Lure yet?); and I'd really like to know if they usually have some left over LE items from past...

Hi I'm searching for a matte (or at most a bit satiny - does sheertone qualify for that?), blue toned pink blush (so more a mauve/lilac than pink; no hints of peach or brown) for super-pale skin. Judging from gallery-pics, I thought maybe coygirl, breath of plum, dame (but it looks like it...

Hi all Last week I made my very first mini-haul: dovefeather, idol eyes, and sumptuous olive. Since then I've been agonizing over what color to combine with sumptuous olive, without getting to flashy/ losing that sophisticated, subtle look of this color alone. I'm very pale, with cool-toned...
